YOU GUYS!!! Man, I keep seeing people saying someone is "unalive" - why can't I just say they're dead, murdered, etc? I can't say someone is a serial killer, I have to say serial unaliver. Like - WTF is going on. It doesn't change the end result. Are people really that sensitive? Should I change?? Am I unknowingly provoking a hopefully limited group of people who will unalive me????
LET ME KNOW!!!

Cécile Smits  | 24 comments It sounds like a trend….maybe to make it sound more interesting?
Though i’m not sure why….i mean dead is dead,right?
Through murder,suicide,age or illness,doesn’t matter,the result is that you’re dead.
If anyone thinks differently,that’s their choice,but if they want to “unalive” you because you don’t,they’re going to have to go through me!

Hooked On Romance | 4 comments First, thanks for the group invite! 'Unalive' is currently top of the my most annoying word list. I see it on social media all the time, but then I just recently read it in a book. The tough mmc said something about unaliving someone.🤦‍♀️ Nooooo! I really hope authors don't start adding that word to their books. 😩

Grace Btrs (gracebtrs) | 1 comments I hate that word 😂 but I think TT and other SM started to shadowban and block videos/posts that have killer/kill and other graphic words
hence people started using unaliver
lol I think it was added to the Oxford Dictionary too 🤷🏻‍♀️
so blame censorship, apparently we're too sensitive now


Angela Plumeria | 1 comments That’s my understanding, too. Books banned and pulled from shelves so people have to write in code now.

Thanks for the invite to the group, Mysti!

OMG I think if an author made an MMC say that - I'm 0 star that fucker just on principle alone!!!

JFC - reminds me of that time I told my BFF on facebook that I was going to punch her in her tit and got banned for a week.

You're welcome! And I struggle enough to read English - y'all add code to the mix and I'll be screwed!
